Resident Evil 4 iPhone gets a demo version photo

Capcom has released a demo version of Resident Evil 4 for the iPhone, called Resident Evil 4 Lite. As demos usually go, you can get it for free on the App Store, and will have the chance to try out the game's first chapter. 

The full game costs $6.99, but is it worth it? Uh, that's what the free demo is for, dummy -- to find out! From my own experience with the Lite version, I can say that (if anything) it certainly looks like Resident Evil 4.

But as far as playing it goes, it really shows the limitations of the iPhone hardware. You can't simply adapt a game that was designed for an analog stick to a touch screen, simply adding a phantom touch-analog stick in its place. Maybe it's just me, but I find that impossible (and annoying) to use. 

Am I alone in this? What do you think of Resident Evil 4 on the iPhone? Did you hear, there's a free demo version available now! I wrote about it once.

Definitely not up to par with Wii/PS2/Gamecube versions, but... it IS a phone...

I didn't play RE4 bit I played the free version of the other RE game and it was a'ight. Clearly it won't touch the console versions.

My problem with portable horror gaming in general is the lack of atmosphere when you're "on the go."

"Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition Lite Tap" is quite a mouthful.

Hmmm...I almost wish I was a big enough tool to have bought an iPhone.
